Alnwick - 7 Not at fault for either goals. Distribution looked better. Wilson - 5 Looked clumsy at times but had no one in front of him to play off. Morrision - 6 Looked better than at Reading, winning more balls in the air. Dervite - 7 Solid. Wiggins - 8 MOM Links up very well with Stewart, made some excellent runs and crucial tackles. Stewart - 7.5 Great goal and assist. Beat his man most times comfortably. Cousins - 6 Looked a bit light weight. Jackson - 6.5 Hard working but unlucky with sending off. Stephens 6 - Start to get nervous when he has the ball around our box. Worked hard second half with a lot of chasing back. Kermorgant 6 - Spent most of the first half on the floor. Got better second half, still not match fit. church 6 - Lots of the running as usual. What does Sordell have to do to get a chance?

Alnwick - 7 Wilson - 6 Expect better after recent form Morrision - 7 Dervite - 7.5 - bought the ball out from the back well Wiggins - 9 Different class Stewart - 8 great goal, indifferent for most of the game Cousins - 8 Stephens always puts him in awkward positions but does well Jackson - 7 Stephens - 6 Another one of those Dale Stephens games Kermorgant - 7.5 came deep and tried to create things. Midfield didnt help. church - 7.5 Non-stop but looks tired. Needs a break.
Alnwick 7.5 Wilson 7 Morrison 7 Dervite 7 Wiggins 9 One great sliding saving challenge. Back to his best Stewart 8 Produced our three best attacking moments Cousins 7 Collapsed when went off injured Jackson 6 Stephens 6 Back to the bad old dys Kermorgant 7 Improved in 2nd half church 6
Alnwick -7: very sound - good handling of crosses throughout, which is bound to infuse confidence into the back four. He also and held onto a few awkward low shots, with forwards running in looking for any rebound Wilson - 6: ok - didn't really get forward to any effect Morrision - 6: steady enough defensively but his distribution is poor and the long punts upfield nearly always concede possession Dervite - 7: won a lot of headers and moved the ball well out of defence Wiggins - 9:MOM. Back to his best - tenacious, speedy and bags of energy. Saved an almost certain goal in the second half with a superb sliding tackle Stewart - 8: responsible for our attacking best moments Cousins - 7: another very competent and responsible performance. Does everything very well and covers an enormous amount of ground for us; he also covers that ground to good and purposeful effect Jackson - 6: a danger in the opposition area and chalked up another goal, but not sure he can really cover enough ground in the engine room Stephens - 6: a quieter game than of late Kermorgant - 5.5: a few nice touches but didn't contribute enough. I hope it is lack of match sharpness and that he is not developing prima donna tendencies church - 5.5: one decent effort in the second half but too easily dispossessed and didn't really threaten the opposition
Alnwick - 7.5 Superb handling. Wilson - 7 For the most part he defended well. Morrision - 7.5 Lots of interceptions and marked Miller well. Unlucky with the OG. Dervite - 7.5 Very good in the air and tried to use the ball sensibly. Wiggins - 8.5 Looks like he could play at a higher level. Stewart - 8 Two two major contributions. Has masses of potential. Cousins - 7 Very steady and was missed late on. Jackson - 6 Nice to see him in the box again. Did get pulled back but the lunge was daft and a deserved red. Stephens - 6.5 Steady. Kermorgant - 6 Plenty of decent little passes but gave the ball away at 2-1 which ultimately led to the goal. Wish he'd shoot more. Church - 6 Usual hard-working game and was impressed with his movement.
Alnwick 8. First time i've seen him. Impressed Wilson 6.5. Did ok. As said didn't get forward enough/at all Morrision 7.5. Thought he had a good game. After about an hour the whole team started to " lump it forward" Dervite. Looked ok. Couldn't see penalty from where I was Wiggins. 8.5 Getting back to his best Stewart 8. Played well. Dangerous, Goal and assist. Also a great 1st half shot that brought an amazing save from their keeper Cousins 7.5. Did holding job well. Jackson 7. Not a bad game. Poor tackle. Can't complain about Red Stephens 8. Can't aggee with others. Shows how we see games differently, Cultured, class, good distribution and made plenty of tackles Kermorgant 6. No real threat. Not at his best. Poor service. Too many balls hit in the air to him. Yeovil centre half looked about 6 ft 8 church 6 . Tried. Doesn't look strong enough. Unlucky with overhead kick. If Sordell can't get in ahead of this guy, then he does have problems.
Powell 4. Wrong tactics. Totally in control for an hour, but we needed a third goal. Yeovil got lucky eith og, and we nearly ended ip losing. 2 points lost. Should have won from 2-0 up.
Alnwick 8 - thought he was excellent, good handling, good distribution, which included an assist for goal 1 Wilson 6 Morrison 6.5 Dervite 7 Wiggins 7.5 Stewart 8.5 - a frustrating player but was excellent today - including a cracking goal and a great save brought from their keeper Cousins 7 Jackson 6.5 Stephens 6.5 Kermorgant 6 - convinced he's not fit - but we have no alternative Church 6
Powell 4. Wrong tactics. Totally in control for an hour, but we needed a third goal. Yeovil got lucky eith og, and we nearly ended ip losing. 2 points lost. Should have won from 2-0 up.
Dumb post of the week - of course it would have been nice to have got the third goal - there was a good save from Church, drive from Cousins and a scrambled corner that was boggling about. In hindsight everybody thinks Powell should have done something different.
Dumb post eh Redman! Just trying to give an insight to people who weren't there. Think Powell got tatics wrong and we started playing too deep. Not just in hindsight, said it at the time. Sorry if you're not open to debate/conjecture on what is after all a football forum site
Alnwick 7 Wilson 6 Morrision 6 Dervite 6 Wiggins 7 Stewart 6 Should have been subbed early in the second half. Did ok first half but failed to do any thing constructive in 2nd half. Did not gt past the defenders once in the second half or make it to the bye line. Cousins 7 Jackson 5 Stephens 6 Kermorgant 6 church 6 Given they threw a two nil lead away I am being generous with the points.
Alnwick - 8 - Solid (MoM) Wilson - 6 - Seems to have lost his attaching ability? Morrision - 6.5 - Just about controlled Miller Dervite - 7 - Won lots in the air Wiggins - 7.5 - Good game and one fabulous goal-saving tackle near the end Stewart - 7.5 - When he had the ball, he was great, but double-teamed much of the time so sometimes anonymous Cousins - 8 - Very good again; hope the injury is not too bad! All went pears shaped when he went off... Jackson - 6 - Gave his all (again) but his sending off cost us any chance of getting back into the game Stephens - 6.5 - Some very good passes but below his best Kermorgant - 6 - Great effort but whatever he tried falied to work on the day Church - 6 - Ran about a lot again and unlucky with overhead kick, but little else to mention
Hughes was poor, but Solly got involved and looks like he could be back by Xmas.

Why use the "players" marks to give a rather one sided view - certainly not an insight. These wrong tactics had got us a 2-0 lead, weathered the inevitable Yeovil storm after half time when they made 2 attacking changes and given us some chances to get that 3rd goal. Do you give Powell any marks for that. How about also some credit for him seeing something in the first half which made him switch wings Stewart and Jackson. The first goal was Stewart cutting in from the left (his changed position). The second was Stewart on the left wing crossing to Jackson coming in from the right. When Cousins went off injured I did not hear one person think that bringing on Hughes was the wrong move.

It wasn't Dervite who conceded the penalty. It was Andy Hughes.

Dervite - 7 Not really troubled either as Miller psent most of time on the floor
Wiggins - 8 MOM - the lad has one hell of an engine, not troubled at the back and was dangerous going forward.
Stewart - 8 Found the space after half an hour on the left and caused them no end of problems. Shame we couldn't get the ball to him more often
Cousins - 7 Solid
Jackson - looking more match fit since his injury. Worked hard, always avaialbe, great tackle that resulted in the red card
Stephens - 7 Quiter game than recently
Kermorgant - 5 Not his usual self. Looked slightly disinterested and I think is worried about ankle
Church - 6 Huffs, puffs, makes great runs. Tripped over the only real chance he had.
Unlucky with the overhead kick.
